Cohen Lawyer Admits to Being Source Behind CNN's Trump Tower Report

In late July, CNN ran a story, co-authored by Watergate icon Carl Bernstein, that included an explosive claim about President Trump. If that assertion were to be proven false, it would be enormously damaging for Trump, and a boon for Special Counsel Robert Mueller's Russian Federation investigation.

So excited was the mainstream media by this anonymously sourced story that it dominated the headlines for days.

After he joined Trump's team in May, Giuliani said the president fired James Comey because he wouldn't say Trump wasn't a target of an investigation - an admission that could potentially play into an obstruction of justice case. On Tuesday, CNN said it stands by its story. "We were not the source of the story", Davis falsely claimed to Cooper the previous Wednesday.

"I think the reporting of the story got mixed up in the course of a criminal investigation. They won't because it is false", Mr. Stone said in the video. In other words, the story reports claims that Cohen had said he was willing to make, not the underlying truth of those claims.

The television news channel won't even acknowledge that Davis has changed his tune. Did CNN have other sources who corroborated what Cohen knew of Trump and Junior discussing the meeting with the Russians in 2016? This isn't journalism-this is fanaticism.

Expanding on his statement later Monday, Mr. Stone toldNew York Daily News that all three outlets have approached him about an alleged telephone conversation he supposedly had with Mr. Trump shortly before WikiLeaks began releasing the personal emails of John Podesta, Mrs. Clinton's former campaign chairman.
